Underestimated Mate

"Cassandra, what's happening here? Don't tell me my eyes aren't deceiving me. Oh, it is; it's deceiving me because this can't happen to me. No, you can't do this!" Rex yelled at Cassandra, who was still lying on the bed with no remorse.

Rex and Cassandra had been secretly dating. Many times, Rex approached Cassandra and brought up the topic that he wanted an open relationship, but Cassandra would threaten that they'd split if he ever brought up the topic, so he decided to remain silent over the matter like a slave.

On a fateful afternoon, a day before the coming celebration of Valentine's Day which everyone among the students has been longing for. Rex and his friend Andrea were discussing at his dormitory as Andrea was also busy scrolling down on his phone and browsing the internet.

"Bro, guess what!" Andrea exclaimed out of excitement after coming across a post and seeing the picture of Kanye West and Cassandra.

"Yes, you know I'm not good at guessing, so go straight to the point and stop beating about the bush," Rex reluctantly replied.

"Kanye West has proposed to Cassandra!"

"Which Cassandra are you talking about? You mean Cassandra Knight?" Rex asked in disbelief.

"Exactly, bro, the girl is just f*ckin' lucky to have such a person propose to her; I'm happy for her," Andrea replied with a smile on his face.

"Come on, man, you always make expensive jokes! Go take a pill if you're daydreaming," Rex replied in disbelief.

"I bet you, it's not a joke or daydream either; you can check the post by yourself," Andrea said, trying to hand Rex the phone, but he barked at him: "Go away with your fake news, please."

Andrea stared at him in disbelief. How could Rex find it difficult to believe what he told him? He stood up to leave, but Rex grabbed him back.

"Where did you say you got this false news from?" he asked Andrea with a confused look.

Andrea thought for a while, thinking about what could be the cause of Rex's action. He wondered why Rex would doubt him and refuse to see the evidence he was showing him.

"Man, if you can't believe it, then forget about it. Let's talk about something reasonable; besides, I don't know why you acted like you're not happy with the girl, or do you keep a grudge against her, or have you in any way had any problem or misunderstanding with her? Tell me so I can reconcile both of you," Andrea suggested.
